On offer is a truly beautiful and rare Travancore silver coin bowl, expertly handmade by soldering dozens of antique Travancore coins into a detailed openwork design. Measuring approximately 150 mm by 120 mm, this unique dish is a testament to Indian silversmithing traditions and the rich history of Travancore’s currency.

The bowl has a total weight of 120 grams, making it valuable for both its silver content and the collectible coins it incorporates.
